From the reviews

I'm glad Talbotts designers seem to be finally getting rid of all the ruffles and pom Poms and bows that have been so prominent on their clothes! I like their clothes better now.

★★★★☆ — Margaret, Jun 2018

Much like the earlier reviewer, it had been over a decade since I shopped at this store due to being completely ignored by the staff the last time I was there. I thought I would give it another try --- but same result. It was funny really.

★★★★☆ — Nancy, Feb 2013

Outstanding quality, beautiful clothes and just about the only place I shop anymore. The fitting rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the customer service is excellent.

★★★★★ — Linda, Jun 2019

What beautiful clothes that fit me to a T! Couldn't have had more fun shopping. Sue was wonderful in helping me find different things to try on. Kudos Sue!!!!!! SO happy with my choices. More soon! Returned to Talbot's this morning and Heidi was amazing as she helped me with tops. Kudos Heidi! Fabulous experience.

Big & tall at Talbots

Reviews and the store's own info mention men's big & tall at Talbots — extended sizes, longer inseams and sleeve lengths, or a dedicated big & tall selection rather than a single rack. If you need specific sizes (tall lengths, extended necks, wide-width shoes), a quick call ahead saves the trip: stock in the far ends of the size run moves fast, and many stores can order your size even when it's not on the floor that day.
